LMAO.
Actually, I'm much more interested in autocross than I am in drag racing. After I get the rebuild finished I'm looking at a complete suspension overhaul. Tubular k-member/control arms, coil overs, etc.
And as soon as the rear end blows up (its inevitable with the stock 10 bolt) I'm going to be putting in a 12 bolt.

I'm more into road courses myself too which is why I've already begun to upgrade my suspension with the sways, springs (going to replace with coil-overs), trailing arms, toe-rods, tunnel brace and rear end bushings. Going to do the front bushings next. I want to take my car to Infenion soon. At first I was shooting for 550RWHP but now that I'm sitting at 600 I'm thinking 650RWHP will be good. I'll be able to get there just by increasing my boost after I strengthen everything up. I briefly toyed with the idea of a 419 stroker build or dropping this in.
